Description
Worsbrough Vicarage is a house dated 1696, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of pebble-dashed sandstone and has a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys with attics and features three windows on the first floor. To the right, there is a two-storey, single-bay addition, a wing at the rear right, and a 20th-century addition to the left, which is not of special interest.
The entrance is a part-glazed door set in a square-faced surround, positioned to the right of the center. This door is flanked by 19th-century canted-bay windows with stone mullions and transoms. On the left, there is a square bay window with a 20th-century casement beneath a lintel that shows the stoolings of a 4-light mullioned window. To the right of this bay window, there is a datestone inscribed with the year 1696.
On the first floor, there are three 3-light double-chamfered, mullioned windows, each beneath a hoodmould with lozenge-shaped stops. The windows on the right have lowered sills. The building features shaped kneelers and ashlar gable copings, as well as corniced ashlar end stacks and a matching ridge stack between the first and second bays. The addition on the right of the main range has a 3-light mullioned window on the ground floor and a casement window above, with an end stack on the right.
At the rear, the wing retains mullioned-window openings on three floors, all with dripstones, and also features shaped kneelers and gable copings.
Inside, there is an old iron-studded door in the left return of the main range, which has a lion's head knocker. The attics reveal collared, principal-rafter trusses.
